After 3 weeks of waiting, my results are in.

igm
18+
31 IND
41 IND
81-93 +

Igg
30 ++
41 IND


Why is it still negative with igenex?

it says " some viral antibodies cross-react 31;41;83-89. the exact one i show sone reactivity for.

In the back of my head i'm thinking what if this a different virus/ disease??

I'm not sure myself but it could be something other than Lyme. Would another tick borne illness show on an IGENEX?

Has your ANA been checked for other autoimmune diseases?

ANA checked several times. All rheumatology blood work negative.

ela - I believe there are others on this forum who have also had negative test results from Igenex, but now are improving with treatment.
I'm hoping someone will respond, so this will bump it back up

What about the dark microscopy test? Or CF 57 ? Mine was confirmed with only 2 bands on western blot (not igenex) but my CD57 was very, very low.

Bump. Anybody??
Posted 6/28/2014 2:47 AM (GMT 0)
Mine was
31 IND
39 +
41 +

Which is negative, but my PCR urine test came back positive.

Band 18 is Lyme-specific.

Thanks..does band 18 has to be igg or igm to be specific? I thought 18 had to be igg to be specific for lyme.
Posted 6/29/2014 1:56 AM (GMT 0)
I Was told that when presented with the 93 band, 18 is Lyme specific. The combo also points to chronic infection regardless of igm/igg association...

I developed morphea and found strong connection between lyme and morphea.
A top dermatologist at NYU did a study and found 69% of patiens with morphea have lyme.
I did every imaginable rheumatology blood test out there several times. Everything negative. All I had to go with is morphea.

Plus my symptoms, muscles pain and burning, spasms, awful periferal neuropathy, debilitating head pressure, joint pain, twitching, vibrating in my legs..like a tunning fork vibrating...

when you say chronic... Chronic lyme?
Posted 6/29/2014 11:29 AM (GMT 0)
Yes sorry.
Posted 6/29/2014 12:24 PM (GMT 0)
have you done other tests? hiv, syphilis, stools test ? helicobacter pilory? candida? dark field microscopy? diabet? bartonella? mycoplasma? epstein barr virus? toxoplasma?

before blame Lyme you should to eliminate other diseases.

i did a drk field micoscopy, where i can see mycoplasma, bartonella, spirochets and anaplasma. this is LYme, but still i can t not confirm i have it.

so i have to do other test to confirm. western blot...etc..etc
